Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

Doing a stack walk to try to determine if an import failure was from a circular 
import would be costly, a little complicated (since you cannot simply look at 
import statements but also various kinds of functions that can do an equivalent 
job of importing) and probably not worth it.

As for ImportWarning, it's at least mentioned in the exception hierarchy and 
the warnings docs.
